A Good Week Overall ...

I have to say as far as weeks go, this has been a good one. Feel great about my workouts, getting them in most days this week. The eating has been pretty clean, so another plus. We will see what the scale says on Monday ;-).  It's been productive at work, accomplishing what I need to take care of and finish up before my last day on August 28th. 

As usual, we had a wonderful weekend up north. The kids had fun bringing friends up and one of my oldest a dearest friends Barbie came up too. Relaxing fun all around. Always recharges me for the following week when we are at the Stoned Loon Lodge. Love the simple life in the northwoods. Working on carrying that over to our world in Milton. Uncluttered and a slower paced home life makes for a happy mama. Baby steps but we will get there. 

This week should be another good one  with "Making the Move" for Sparky (the transition to middle school class), a trip to Madison to see Mom a/k/a Grandma, work and workouts as well as some more down time ... And of course the new career search :-). It's so exciting to see all of the possibilities that are out there. 

Time to unpack and get settled from the weekend!  Hope you have all had a wonderful week and enjoy the week ahead.  I'll be back Sunday.  And as always, remember that life is good. Enjoy it, love it and be kind to one another. 

Making Fitness My Own Again ...

This Chica has a long way to go ... But I am finally ready to take back my fitness, lose the weight I have gained since Ironman Wisconsin last year (the complete hysterectomy is making this a little more challenging - but I WILL get there) and looking forward getting back to the self that loves triathlon, cycling running, strength training ... And yoga too ;-).  They are my personal passions and I miss them.  As I sit in the car putting together my 2015 race schedule, I'm excited to begin the prep and training to go after it this next year :-). 

I do have specific goals that I have set for myself which I'll share as I go ... But am excited to make sure to take the time to fill my health and fitness "bucket" first instead of last (this happens to so many of us).  We only have one life, so we need to make the best of the life we are given. Personally speaking, filling my fitness bucket, makes me a better and happier person in every aspect life ... So guessing it's a win-win for everyone ;-).  

With the announcement of me leaving club this past week, the employment search is underway in full force.  Only 18 more days at the club ... I'll have the time to focus on really working on finding the best fit.  There are some incredible opportunities out there ... And know one of them will come my way before I know it!  Really looking forward this unknown new adventure!  

Hope you've had a wonderful week ahead and I'll be back next weekend!    Enjoy the night and remember that life is good. Enjoy it, love it and be kind to one another.
